A study to assess the capability of subsurface flow wetland systems to remove biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and various other chemical constituents resulted in the accompanying data on x = BOD mass loading and y = BOD mass removal.
x = BOD 30 35 37 38 44 103
y = BOD 26 21 9 31 30 75
a)Obtain the estimated ?0 and ?̂1 coefficients. (4 pts.) Show your calculations.
b)Write the linear regression equation.
c)Calculate the coefficient of determination (?^2)
d)Does there appear to be a useful relationship between BOD mass loading and BOD mass removal? State and test the appropriate hypothesis. Use ?=0. 05.
